Looks nice DMiller! It has an MP3/iPod jack I take it? Another good option for sure! I've seen these units before but it's been a while. The ones I remember seeing were AM/FM/cassette and seemed kind of pricey. How do these compare?

This is a Pyle, so the quality is not the best, but it cost $50 and has all the latest media options.
It works pretty well, the electronic tuner works good, and I use the USB with my thumbdrive alot.
It's not a techno marvel, but I just wanted decent options in the truck. The install was painless for the truck
and the owner :wink:

$50 isn't bad at all :eek: Hmmmm, I may consider this as I've already got an amplifier and a sub in my garage. I'd just need a pair or two of some decent mids and tweets.

Does anyone know if this VOLVO install kit mentioned above will work on a 1967? I know the radio and bezel and probably even the cut out are different from the 68-72 models. Please let me know if possible.
Thanks!

Here is my installation of an am/FM/cd player using the stock surround and bending the ears back. I put a strap on the back up to the dash to hold the back still. No vibrations and cd player works great. Too me it looks better than all of the plastic of the Metra kits and more of a classic look even though it is a Din style radio. The best way I think is using the old style stereos with the two knobs that have been updated inside like Dmiller posted. Those were not out when I did mine but his looks great
clint

Helps to add a picture. lol

What did you use to install that radio? did you use a special harness? is it just connecting the wires to the same color wire? i know my 2010 dodge needed a 100$ harness to get everything to work cause of the can-bus system.

Here is mine. Took about a day to remake the bezel. I would recommend the volvo kit.
